Where's the best place to buy a new computer?

[Theystolemymoney]

Online or live, and where? Consider typical factors like shipping time, cost, selection, warranties, financing, etc. Some choices are:

-Best Buy
-Circuit City
-Fry's Electronics
-Newegg.com
-Fatwallet.com
-Dell or Gateway type stores
-Other


Also, Dell seems to be the brand of choice as far as desktop PC's, but not necessarily for laptops. Any recommendations there too?
